It’s my birthday so I drew myself some fluff of teenage Wolfstar (in some happy AU where my grubby, angst-making hands can’t touch them)

[thehufflebean]

Two facts about me are that I’m addicted to making moodboards and that I love Lily Potter, née Evans

(This is sorta OSOS AU Lily, but you def don’t need that context to appreciate how great Lily is)

‘The Moon That Breaks’ fic preview!

Coming soon to an AO3 near you, another hella long, hella angsty wolfstar fic from yours truly! The Moon That Breaks is a fic set in 1977, when the Marauders are sixth-years at Hogwarts. Remus and Sirius are a recently established couple, still very much in the honeymoon stage. But when a bit of hormonally-motivated irresponsibility winds up with Sirius being bitten and infected by Remus, there’s devastating fallout. My take on a werewolf!Sirius AU is angsty and introspective, full of self-loathing, mutual pining, internalized prejudice, and coping with the aftermath of trauma and lots of other fun stuff like that. Not to mention character loyalties shifting in the crucible of oncoming war, a good deal of brooding chainsmoking, and lots of wolfstar feels set to so much ‘70s music that some scenes bear a resemblance to the songfics of yore.

Keep an eye out for Chapter One later this week!

SNEAK PEEK:

Remus rolled onto his left side and said to the velvet hangings, in the same soft voice he might have used if Sirius were laying in the bed with him, “You haven’t lost your best mate.”

For a second of simultaneous relief and disappointment, he thought that Sirius had already fallen asleep and had not actually heard him, but then came the small squeak of bedsprings and Remus knew Sirius had turned towards him. His heart lurched painfully in his chest over boundary the bed hangings made, over the small and yet vast distance between them, “Unless you mean Prongs, and I know you don’t,” Sirius said, haltingly, “I sort of have. I… you haven’t said ten words to me, Moony, since…” there was a soft rustle as Sirius fidgeted, admitted, “I miss you, you wanker.”

“I miss you, too,” Remus responded immediately, hoping his breathless voice wouldn’t bely just how much, just how desperately, he did.

“You know, when I first found out you were a werewolf,” Sirius said, his voice uncharacteristically small in the darkness, “I accepted it. Immediately. Even with all the bigoted rubbish I’d heard against werewolves my entire life. I,” he hesitated so long Remus thought he might have given up on finishing the sentence, and then he tacked on, brokenly, “I didn’t think you’d reject me over the same, if it were the other way 'round.”

“Sirius,” Remus said, his hands fisting in his blankets against the urge to clamber out of bed and go kiss some sense into him, “That’s not what happened.”

“I s’pose it’s not,” Sirius admitted, lightly, without conviction, “But it feels rather like crap either way.”

I was feeling crafty yesterday and made this wand, but it came out like... extremely cooler than I anticipated

[fyi, the process was really simple! I started with a cheapo bamboo cooking chopstick which I cut to the desired length, then added sculpey III for the shape/accents and a normal marble I had lying around, just for shits and giggles. I then baked it per the sculpey instructions, let it cool, and painted it. I did a black undercoat for dimension, then medium brown mid-coats and light brown/metallic gold accents. I cleaned off some paint that got on the marble, then varnished the whole thing. Ollivander, who?]

boop, cross-posting the illustrations from my fic ‘The Other Side of Sorrow’ on here because I’m new to adding images on AO3. These are the illustrations for Chapter 1-13

Went back and did an illustration for Ch 11 of ‘The Other Side of Sorrow’

[thehufflebean]

In honor of pride, I made this phone wallpaper going off my idea of a Pansexual Hufflepuff aesthetic (original moodboard here) and I sorta super love it

[thehufflebean]

I spent about four hours too many making this moodboard for my angstfest of a wolfstar fic, The Other Side of Sorrow. 

It reimagines the first war with Voldemort in an AU where the infamous Shrieking Shack prank resulted in Snape's death at sixteen, causing a rift between the Marauders that only begins to mend when they are tasked with hunting down horcruxes for the Order.
